    I currently have the following installed on at least one of my systems:

    Emacs
    ex
    Geany
    Helix
    Jed
    Jedit
    JOVE
    Jupp
    Kakoune
    Micro
    Nano
    Neovim
    Notepadqq
    vi
    Vile
    Vim

    I’ve PARED DOWN this list considerably in recent weeks, but I’ve probably used between thirty and forty text editors over the years if not MORE than that. Even after paring them down I still have more editors than most people, except perhaps OTHER text editor enthusiasts.

    I see despite cutting down the list quite a bit, there’s plenty of opportunity to make additional adjustments; this list remains quite extensive.
